Over the past five years, PowerMizzou.com has given Tiger fans an inside look at spring and fall practices for Gary Pinkel's team. Spring ball 2009 starts up on Tuesday afternoon and we will be back on the scene with photos, reports and interviews from each of the Tigers' workouts leading up to the Black and Gold game on April 18th.

In the past, most of our practice coverage has been available only to premium subscribers of PowerMizzou.com. But this year, we're extending an olive branch to all Tiger fans. Beginning today, each of our spring practice reports will be a free read for all Tiger fans.

For those that subscribe to the site, you will still get plenty of additional value. Our staff photographer will be at each workout and we will post a photo gallery of that day's practice. We will be talking to Pinkel, his assistants and various players after each practice as well and will continue to bring our subscribers the most in-depth coverage of spring ball available anywhere.

But for those who are not yet members, you can still get a big sample of just how completely PowerMizzou.com covers spring ball. Check out our free practice reports over the next month to get an idea of the coverage subscribers get every single day.

The first workout is ready to begin at 3:30 on Tuesday and PowerMizzou.com will bring Tiger fans complete coverage from the practice field.
